Is It Lent Yet?

In the past I’ve given up sugar and swearing for Lent. This past year, I gave up sugar. I should have given up swearing…

In the car listening to the radio - Waking Up in Vegas

Princess: Oh my gawsh! She just said a swear word on the radio! I thought they couldn’t do that?
Me: She didn’t REALLY say the swear word. She just said a word in place of the swear word.
P: In place of what word?
Dude: Oh! I know what word! But I can’t say it because I’d get in a LOT of trouble.
Me: Yes, you would get in a lot of trouble.
P: Oh. NOW I know what word it is, Mommy. It’s like when you say “Are you BEEP kidding me?!”

Yes. She actually said “beep” in place of the word.

Yes. Apparently I have said that terrible nasty word in front of my children in some of my not finest moments.

Yes. I’m giving up swearing . . . now, instead of waiting for Lent.

    HAHAHAHAHA!! Sometimes those words just come out by themselves. :-)

    I do great at not swearing except when I am around a friend who swears and I have to stop myself once again. It is a terrible habbit.

    I am so glad you are back and writing these wonderful short notes. Your family is a roit. I wish I were there.

    Love
    Sue

    That would be like this morning when I workout out with the trainer for the first time since school has been out and the girls were home. Somehow those last reps aren’t going to be the same without Holy F—!

    How timely! Just as I finished laughing at this, I got a call from summer camp that one of my charming boys tried out a new vocabulary word today. It’s the very same one, but withOUT the beep.
